It might seem like a waste of money to you and I, but these public information programmes are very cheap to make. A few years ago I read that it cost about £100K to make a typical half hour sit com or drama show, but public info TV or news shows cost about a 5th of that. Better to waste our cash on flying a few people out to Slovakia than waste it on another unfunny sitcom or talent show
